From 11 to 14 November, Camille Grenier, Executive Director of the Forum on Information and Democracy, will be in Belém for COP30, contributing to key discussions on information integrity in the context of climate change and environmental issues.
On 13 November at 3:30 PM, he will participate in the event “Journalism and Information Integrity on Climate Change: A 21st-Century Urgency”, held at the Ford Foundation Pavilion (Blue Zone). Moderated by Bia Barbosa (RSF Latin America), the panel brought together leading voices from journalism, public policy, and international organisations, including representatives from UNESCO, the Brazilian Presidency, independent media, and civil society.
Camille Grenier will highlight the importance of building information ecosystems that provide access to reliable, science-based information while safeguarding freedom of expression, press freedom, and digital rights, and emphasise the need for coordinated, long-term approaches to strengthen democratic resilience beyond COP30.
Post-event update: Following COP30, 22 countries adopted the first International Declaration on Information Integrity on Climate Change. Camille Grenier contributed to drafting this landmark text, which sets commitments for governments, civil society, the private sector, and international organisations to tackle climate disinformation and support trustworthy information ecosystems.
